glawarhel:thank god(s) it’s summer!june 11: gods/goddesses of friends and familySigyn is Loki’s wife. She is listed amongst the Asynjur, the Goddesses of the Aesir.She is the mother, by Loki, of Narvi and Vali. When Loki was bound in the cave as punishment for his role in Baldur’s death, Vali was turned into a wolf. He then killed his brother by tearing him apart. Narvi’s intestines were used as part of the binding securing Loki.Sigyn, ostensibly having witnessed all of this, stayed by Loki during his punishment, holding a bowl over his face to catch the poison that dripped from a serpent the Goddess Skadhi had secured above his head. For this reason, Loki is sometimes referred to as the “Burden of Sigyn’s Arms”.Sigyn’s name means “victory woman”. -- source link
